Jan 09, 2015 (newstodate): Boding well for Denmark's Billund Airport in 2015 is the news of the return by DHL of an allocated freighter from Monday, January 12, 2015.
With the reintroduction of services on the route between Leipzig and Billund, DHL will offer five weekly rotations on weekdays with a Boeing 757-200F aircraft thus providing both import and export services.
Starting from April 6, 2010, the company allocated one Boeing 757-200F aircraft to serving Billund Airport, flying in from Leipzig in the morning and going back to Leipzig again in the night, connecting western Denmark more closely to the DHL hub at Leipzig as to both import and export shipments.
This service was, however, suspended from October 2013, and since then DHL has been calling instead at the airport only on the return flights with Boeing 737-300F from Orebro, in Sweden, to load export shipments on the flight back to Leipzig and trucking instead imports to west Denmark into Billund from Copenhagen Airport.
